Hair care makes me think it will be a lot of masks and heat protectants and stuff, rather than tools, but who knows.  Not sure if I *really* want a box that is all hair products and nothing else, but a tool would make it worthwhile for me.  Some ridiculous hair dryer like a T3 featherweight would be ideal. 

She did send that wee Oribe in the summer box, and would LOVE to try more from their line.  The Supershine Moisturizing Cream is freaking amazing.  It would be cool to try out the Bumble and Bumble dry-spun finish stuff too.  Any of these look good:

Unrelated...my Surya Brasil shave gel stuff is almost empty and I am SO SAD.  I don't really think it was the best product ever for its intended purpose, but the smell was AMAZING. 

 
On 12 February she posted some GHD items:

Their website is here:

It looks like their dryers/irons start at $225, but they also have hair brushes and other hair products.

I know Little Black Bag used to do promos with Nume curling irons, flat irons and hair dryers that had a high retail value, so that might be another option.

She's sent hair products in past boxes, so I hope if hair is really the theme that there will be something special.

Where is Quarterly/Nina's Luxe Hair spoiler? I have not seen it posted anywhere and havent seen any email.

 
Just randomly came across this ad...

do you think "only a few days left" means it's shipping soon or is that Quarterly speak for "by the end of the month"?

I cancelled but I'm still looking forward to seeing what she sends.

 
Shes been moved to the end of the month with many other boxes in front of her including Rosario and design sponge.

 
I thought of this box today because there were Nume irons up on Groupon for 60% off or something like that. Maybe there will be one in her box...
If her box was 60% off or even if they still did returns, I would sign back up in a heartbeat. I really didn't want to cancel, but I just can't risk it anymore. I'm dying to see what's in it though! Hoping I'll be able to buy a box if I like the spoilers or at least swap for some items.

 
I just got an email from Quarterly with a peek inside some of Quarterly's spring boxes. For Nina's box the email says:

Time for a spring make-over! Treat yourself to luxe hair care with Nina's next box, featuring the best tools and products for gorgeous hair after long winter days.

Yay to tools! I really want a spoiler!

I find it kind of odd that the box has a luxe hair theme. Nina is in the fashion business and most subscribers expect some of her expertise when it comes to that in her boxes. Also, didn't the hairstylist Eva Scrivo just end her agreement with Quarterly? Are the boxes going to be stocked with products originally intended for that subscription? I got the Summer box in July and she included the Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray and a Joico conditioner. They both worked nicely but I remember thinking I want more fashion and less hair then. Nina does have nice hair though.

I totally agree.  I subscribed to Nina for fashion...with maybe a little (fashionable) beauty thrown in.  Is it unrealistic to think that "one of the most influential leading experts in fashion" should be able to find fashion items for subscribers each season and not send a beauty themed box?

 
Yesssss, tools!!

Nina Garcia definitely loves luxurious haircare lines.  There's a photo somewhere she took of her bathroom and she like the expensive stuff.  She did have the Oribe on her shelf (3 different ones) and some Pureology.   This was waaaay back when her second box came out and I was stalking her for spoilers.  I seriously want her bathroom, btw.  

 
My first thought was also that they had some stuff that was supposed to be for the Eva Scrivo box, just as I think the Rosario change in theme is because 2-3 other curators have done 5 senses boxes.  That being said, I truly don't mind and am really excited that they are including tools too.  I will be upset if it's Nume though, since I just got a Lustrum.  Plus I don't think that is a luxury brand, despite what the youtubers are trying to tell us. 

 
I'm still undecided on this one because I don't think I need anymore hair products. It's a tough decision. It probably sells out before I can make up my mind :D /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20">

 
Has anyone seen any spoilers aside from the "luxe hair" theme?  Every single day I'm over at the quarterly site with my mouse hovering over the "cancel subscription" link lol.  

I guess the good thing is with "luxe hair", there really isn't room for a fringe bag/pouch or a plastic shoe. The bad thing is - do I really need $100 worth of random hair products...

 
I have definitely been looking for spoilers but haven't found any yet.  The fact that this box seems to include tools is what has kept me around.  For the people who are leaning on the "no" side of the fence but still want to spend money, you might want to consider MizzFit this time.  Bianca and I have been emailing and while she won't tell me what is in it (despite my best efforts, haha), she seems really excited about April's box. 

There will be 1 beauty product, the rest is a 90% work hard, 10% cheat day theme.

Did I miss this before???  The photo of Nina in my email from Quarterly now seems to have cartoon-like graphics of a mirror and blow dryer on it.  I don't know if this means anything, but I thought I would throw it out there in case it does.

It's the same graphic that was with the announcement - Time for a spring make-over! Treat yourself to luxe hair care with Nina's next box, featuring the best tools and products for gorgeous hair after long winter days.
